GMC Forum _ Lyrics _ The Pianist
Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Mar 4 2008, 03:05 AM
The Pianist
(Verse)
These ancient hands
Sludge across the keys
To hear what he hears
You have to see what he sees
And as the notes boom
They rattle and ring
The song kicks in
He starts to sing
(Chorus)
The chorus begins
And hearts start to break
The pace speeds up
His hands start to shake
But he always pulls through
This wonderful song
You realize life’s good
You realize you’re strong
(Verse)
The room becomes his
The world his own
Lost in a melody
He’s all alone
He closes his eyes
And drifts away
His ghostly hands
Just know what to play
(Chorus)
The chorus begins
And hearts start to break
The pace speeds up
His hands start to shake
But he always pulls through
This wonderful song
You realize life’s good
You realize you’re strong
(verse)
And on the day
That he passed away
I opened the coffin
And there he lay
While on one knee
I hummed his caprice
And repeated the words
“Rest in Peace”

So I wrote these lyrics tonight as a tribute to Jeff Healey. He was a truly great man and one of my biggest inspirations in life. I didn't quite know how to put it until I read The Uncreator's new lyrics and was inspired by the first stanza. Hopefully he doesn't mind Anyways, here they are, not my best work, but they were completely in the moment as I was still in shock from Jeff's death. RIP

I really dig these lyrics man, i love how simply they are composed, yet how vivid the picture is.
Amazing job!

Now I had never even heard of the guy, pardon my ignorance, I'm never much concered for famour or semi-famous peoples deaths, it does after all, happen to everyone... Having said that however, I found that the feeling behind these lyrics was really strong and I think these are easily the best lyrics you've posted here. It just knitted together superbly well and was very convincing.

Ok.
I'll try it in a simple way,acoustic guitar and voice,
that'd fit nicely regarding to "message" and purpose of the lyric.

And there he lays
I think I have a nice idea.
Also,are we missing "s" there?
My gramm isn't best,just to check it out.
I added "the" above as well,does it ruin lyric a lot?
It sounds nice here,fits metric.

Hmm Im not entirely sure about lay or lays. Im not sure which it is haha, but you can do whichever
As for adding 'the', I dont see how that makes sense
You realize you are the strong?
But do it however you like

Here's kind a demo version,no real guitars(just acoustic from VG plug-in),
I almost whispered when I was singing,11PM, I had to cause of nasty neighbors
I'll do vocals in pro studio(silent room,better mic,preamp etc) in next few days,
add some guitars,maybe even a solo part.
Nice lyric indeed.
The_Pianist.mp3 ( 4.93MB )
: 764how come when i listened to samples on Let it Out i didnt hear you singing???
you have a decent voice muris
this is great!
Posted by: Muris Mar 12 2008, 02:13 AM
Cause that album is fully instrumental,thanks tho,glad you like it!
Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Mar 12 2008, 02:21 AM
Nice arrangement Muris, very gentle and music is following lyrics very nicely.
Posted by: JVM Mar 12 2008, 02:31 AM
Very nice lyrics Stevie! And Muris great job. Though putting 'the' in there seems really out of place to me. It's a great track for jamming/soloing over.
Posted by: Muris Mar 12 2008, 03:01 AM
Which "the"?There are many,need some light here.

'the strong'. It sounds okay but it doesn't make any grammatical sense. Perhaps you could say something "you are so strong' or something along those lines?
Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Mar 12 2008, 03:12 AM
Muris that is amazing! You must sing on your next album! I can't believe those are my lyrics haha Thanks to everyone for your comments

Im still amazed
Posted by: JVM Mar 12 2008, 04:23 AM
Muris, is there any way you could make a little room for a solo break in that backing? It's fun to jam to but I don't want to be playing over your vocals Though its kind of good for some call and response type stuff.. sounds kind of like a knopfler tune to me.
Then again it's stevie's song, your call man

Wow,many feedbacks so far,thanks everybody!
I'll probably add a solo part and one more chorus,after the solo.
Gonna be nice cause lyric really pushes forward,well done SRV.
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Mar 12 2008, 01:26 PM
Wow, Muris, that's a beautiful song, the melody is awesome, and you can really sing! Even the demo was very moving, can;t weait to hear it complete!
Also, a great original concept from SRV!
Posted by: Muris Mar 12 2008, 01:37 PM
Thanks Andrew.
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Mar 12 2008, 02:14 PM
Welcome! What exact plugin did you use for the acoustic guitar? It sounds pretty good, will save a lot of time when making demos!
Posted by: Muris Mar 12 2008, 02:16 PM
That's Steinberg Virtual Guitarist(acoustic part),good for demos as you said Andrew.

Anytime.
There's also Virtual Acoustic Guitarist,with more grooves and styles all on acoustic.
I used regular Virtual Guitarist version which has some acoustic stuff as well,
not that much as VAG tho.

Thanks Kris!
Wow .. I didnt expect all this to happen when I posted the lyrics .. haha
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Mar 12 2008, 08:01 PM
Can't stop listening to this ... what did you use for the bass sound?
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Mar 12 2008, 08:05 PM
OMG - the soaring guitar solo - Muris, you are a phenomenon!
Posted by: Tjchep Mar 12 2008, 08:19 PM
Amazing lyrics..
Man both you guys amazing job. .
And muris, I really like your melodic side of soloing, You should defiantly mix this with the faster stuff more often.
Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Mar 12 2008, 10:27 PM
Wow, I just saw I forgot to mention how nice voice you have Muris! Rock on man
Posted by: Muris Mar 13 2008, 12:50 AM

Andrew,it's Trilogy,Jaco Pastorious Fretless Preset, if I recall correctly.

Yes I also find that insipring lyrics is a "quick way" to a good melody/song - it's a pretty recent insight for me! It's interesting how the brain works!

Posted by: Freebird Mar 15 2008, 10:33 PM
This is absolutely brilliant Muris I think it needs to sound "fuller" sometimes, but otherwise it is already a very mature version
I'm starting to think the bare sound is intentional though.

Nice job guys, cool lyrics, cool playing!!

Yeah,unfortunately everything except guitars is software,

Yeah, well, I think we all know the magnitude of Muris' skills both technically and theoretically, and that's bound to help too.
But yeah, I really like this song too. Very nice lyrics and very moving solo! I recognized the Pandora sound from your lessons instantly.

Many thanks guys!!
I'll work more on this tune hopefully during weekend and record vocals next week.
Thinking of adding few extra instruments(sounds into arrangement,nothing too attacking,
just to give it more ambient and feel,will see.
Posted by: DeepRoots Mar 21 2008, 03:16 PM
I missed this thread too! SRV those are some great lyrics!
Muris- you've made a fantastic tune out of this- i cant wait to see the lesson
Posted by: Muris Mar 22 2008, 02:15 PM
Thanks guys!!
Now I'm more confused about the I added,sounds better with it,rhythmic wise,
but some of you said it's not well correct,gramm wise.
Dunno what to do.
Posted by: Tjchep Mar 22 2008, 05:46 PM
Well I don't think it sounds bad.. I kinda like it but its not grammatically correct.. But look at rappers.. they make tons of money off stuff that makes a lot less sense

So you want me to rap here??
Posted by: DeepRoots Mar 22 2008, 06:07 PM
maybe:
.you are so strong
..you are real strong
...you're truly strong

i'm no lyricist so pardon me if that isn't the desired effect.. just suggestions ofcourse..

i think for it to sound good like that i think it'd have to be "you are the strong

the weak and
the strong refers to
groups of people.

You are probably right, it just doesnt sound wrong in my head, maybe because im using Danish logic in the English langauge
Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Mar 22 2008, 08:57 PM
All Ik is that I love this song to death and everytime I hear " the strong" I feel like punching a baby. It just shouldnt be there, use one of Deep Roots suggestions- now that I think about it "you are strong" sounds a little awkward to.

I'm in pain here,THE fits perfect into metric and rhythmic phrase.

Dude.. like a guitar tone.. when it sounds good don't do anything to it..
Posted by: Zephyr Mar 23 2008, 01:47 AM
Muris, you truly are an amazing musician! Everything works perfectly together, the lyrics, the melody, the guitar. It almost gives me the winter blues, when it makes me realize how far away from that I am.
Posted by: seagull Mar 24 2008, 11:19 AM
Well, about the "the" thing () I think it would fit well too if you sing like DeepRoots said "You're truly strong".
I'll try to add the rhythmic pattern: You're truuu-ly strong.
How 'bout that?
Posted by: AudunESP Mar 24 2008, 06:43 PM
SRV, not to copy Muris or anything, but may i use your lyrics to create and record some song?
i'm not going to publish it or play it as my own or anything, just for recording and songwriting experience:)
many thanx regaldless of yes or no

Yeah go ahead, but I do plan on actually using these lyrics in a song with my band though

true, but my sugesstions have the same amount of syllables as your phrase- and loosely mean the same thing...but they're no good?
Posted by: Muris Mar 24 2008, 08:00 PM
No,those ideas sound just fine, but THE has a bit more power when you sing it.
Hard choice to make cause it's final phrase in chorus,must be something nice and stable.
Posted by: Chris Mar 24 2008, 11:13 PM
About the lyrics....seems good but i kept getting the feeling you were sticking random words in just to rhyme or fill gaps. If you listen to most songs they have peaking vocals and bridges with absoloutly no rhyme scheme in what soever. Cool though.

That's true,but there are different formulas for texts,metric wise.
This one here is basic 4 phases (2+2) where rhyme IS kind a important.

Holy crap! Your voice is awesome Muris
I heard you sing on your Myspace, but that was a live video where I couldn't hear that good, but this is awesome! How come you're not world famous yet?
Oh, that's right. Becasue of "rappers" who "sing" about money, women, money and jewellery twice their own weight dominates radio, the music channels and the so-called "top-charts"....
If songs like The Pianist would come out to the world instead, with talents like Muris, it would be a happier place to be ^^

Thanks guys!!
Now I'm more confused about
the I added,sounds better with it,rhythmic wise,
but some of you said it's not well correct,gramm wise.
Dunno what to do.
How about "you are among the strong"
It stretches the rhythm of that line a bit but might work.
As for me and "you are the strong", I kind of "get it" too. The strong one. The one to look up to.
Lovely song guys. I'm glad to have had a chance to read those lyrics and hear the tune.
Posted by: audiopaal Sep 19 2008, 08:24 AM

Well done mate
Posted by: Prantare Oct 13 2008, 04:14 PM
[Golly] .. quite a song. I wish I someday will be as good as you guys are. Amazing musicianship!
Great lyrics.
And your both an amazing guitarist and singer. Great job.
I was wondering if you could remove the guitar solo and try to let me record something? :-D
Well, great job man.

How about shortening the "you are" to a "you're"? It shortens it back down to about the right rhythm.

Must try, "you're" wouldn't fit current rhythmic but it can be changed tho.

Ahh,with
among word,that changes things a lot,gonna see what's gonna happen.
BTW,my friend is moving his studio from one location to another,
it shall be set and running in 10-20 days so I will record final vocals then.
Plenty of time to go through all lyrics options tho.

to do serious vocal recording.
And it still sounds pretty bad tho...actually you'll hear pretty soon.

I have no excuse what so ever, it took me toooooooo long,
all I need is to record vocals in pro studio
and I always seem to have something more important,
no excuse, hopefully I'll have it finished soon
